[Mr Tony]

broke off review

I assume you have it hooked to the dish in (its on the left hand side on the back of the box) and not the RF in (on the right right above the rf out)

 

[gamara]

yes left side of boLNB in)let me start with my LNB i have one cable coming from each of the 4 outputs L C L C to my 4-1 diseqc to back of box (LBN in)out from tv/vcr to tv.nothing on the LBN loop out???anyway be kind,thanks

 

[Mr Tony]

do this

-turn off the unit with switch on back and remove all cables from switch
-hook up to one of the "L" ports (no switch involved) and then turn unit back on to start aiming

You would only need one of the "c" ports and one of the "L" ports when done

What's your zip? Then we can give you the angles you need. I would try to aim at your true south satellite without the motor to get the hang of where it should be. Then add the motor later

i believe i have the correct location,my gps is very close to where you told me(but when entered,my box seems to set location back to stock setup)every time i go to sat set up its back on stock location not mine, and where i enter is erased.as for true south from what i could find is 8deg.west of magnetic south. ???

 

[Tron]

I don't have that receiver, but you probably have to store or save your lat. and long. before leaving the setup screen. Again, not sure since I don't have that box.

 

[gamara]

is it possible to have 90 st 25 qu pointing at lets say echostar1/2 and not actually be on that satallite.is this why i have no pictue?if i can manually move my motor to the highest strenght,am i not where i should be?my location is entered!why no channels? as for captiveworks user manual either i suck or it does.

 

[voomvoom]

I think most everything is scrambled on that sat. Maybe you should try another sat.

[gamara]

i have tried every programmed satallite in this box.nothing!
